This book was exactly what I expected. It's an episode rehash. And that's okay. It shows up as a 2nd grade level book, but I can't help but think that, while kids can figure out the hard-to-pronounce names if they've seen the show, words like "connoisseur" are going to be tough.

Another bad Pokemon book. These books are too easily made for kids of the ages of 1 to...1.
This one actually made a little bit of sense, but still it's weird. Ash goes to challenge 3 gym leaders, but their gym looks more like a resteraunt and they're waiters. Really. That's pretty low. Anyway, the book follows the battle and it's boring. Don't read it, for your safety.

*** SPOILER ***

My favourite character in this book was Cilan because I like his pokemon. I liked it when they fought each other. Ash was trying to win his gym badge.
